The list consists of just active, professional athletes, which excludes some popular athletes, such as Michael Phelps, Lonzo Ball, and Katie Ledecky.

  5. Phil Mickelson
  6. Neymar
  7. Usain Bolt
  8. Kevin Durant

Here are some other interesting details from the list:
  • Soccer is by far the most popular sport with 38 players on the list, followed by basketball (13), golf (11), tennis (10), and American football (8).
  • The United States is the most represented country with 35 athletes. Brazil is a distant second with 9, followed by Germany (7), and England (5).
